Veterans Day event
On Saturday, November 12th we met for our annual salute to veterans. We were all asked to bring salads and were told that the main dish would be provided. Well, there wasn't a main dish on the table - just the salads and beverages. After we ate the salads (we all especially enjoyed Donna Wagnild's) Roger and his Maitre D' delivered the main dish on a cart. We all had a chance to enjoy an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) just like our military does every day. Several of us had difficulty just getting the stupid packages open.
Roger's friend Michael Brown, Chief Warrant Officer US Army Reserves (Retired) served as Maitre D' helping Roger hand out the meals.
Each club member that is a veteran stood and gave a brief bio of their service in the military. Quite a large pile of donations was collected to give to the VA.
A good social time was had by all. Thanks to Roger and Ruth for planning this event.
